There is a wisdom saying, “Teach what it is that you would learn.” As a busy professional and family man, I need to constantly remind myself to practice being more present and less judgmental in the now moment. Mindfulness practices help me to do just that. Consequently, I enjoy sharing the practices and insights that have served me, with others that are also interested in being more present in the now.
